سلام. شاید کمی دیر شده باشه ولی مایلم که نظرم رو براتون بنویسم.
 

It is a sentence mentioned in Fazio article: It means "The patient (or the child) learned to be afraid of insects from her parents or other family members, rather than through direct, traumatic interactions with insects".

Here's a paragraph from the Fazio article: "It appeared from the interviewing data that vicarious learning situations (Bandura, 1969, p. 167) might play a significant role in the etiology of common phobias. That is, a family member (typically the mother) dramatically expresses some unpleasant concern over insects and this concern is imitated by the child. "Eager to please" and/or dependent children with "overprotective" parents (Andrews, 1966) would seem to be more likely to acquire the phobic attitude or reaction. Persistent and successful escape/avoidance responding (Solomon & Wynn, 1954), perhaps initially elicited by a teasing brother, might account for the strengthening and "spreading" of the fear. In this regard, considerate relatives and friends coming to the patient's rescue probably do more to maintain or enhance than to remove the phobic reaction (Andrews, 1966; Costello, 1970).
